Park merchandise/souvenirs

[Brie]

Do you collect anything or is there something you usually buy?

I usually get a Christmas ornament with the year on it.  I am also a sucker for anything Small World related, I love that style of art and it sort of has a special meaning to me.

This is actually the one thing that I've never been tempted by. I get all twitchy with the prices since I know how much it goes for on clearance at disneystore.com. This year I bought some sparkly hologram postcards to send the girls from Mickey to let them know next time we plan a trip. Go figure that they're still in my glovebox.

We do an ornament every trip. I just realized we forgot this past trip though.

Other then that the girls usually pick out one thing each trip. We spend basically nothing on souvenirs surprisingly (a good thing considering how much we spend on other stuff).

[curbsideprophet]

I collect postcards (not just Disney) so I try to pick one up.

We did the pressed pennies with DD last trip and she enjoyed it. So we will probably do more of those in the future.

[gardengal]

Not really. But we also aren't big souvenir people for other trips either.

We're also an ornament family

[nachos]

Ornaments and sometimes a picture frame.

The kids like to make shirts at the t-shirt shop in Downtown Disney too. We do that every time.

Ornaments and magnets over here.

Don't forget that you can have your purchases sent straight to your resort as long as you still have 48 hours (I think that's the magic number) left on your room reservation.

Oh yes the magnets are cute! I got the Mickey shaped snacks (pretzel, mickey bar, etc) ones on our honeymoon and my girls play with them on our fridge every day.

[TBM]

We usually get a keychain to use as an ornament rather than buy actual ornaments. We like to buy them to commemorate something, like when we went to the Parisian Afternoon for our anniversary (during the Food & Wine Festival), we bought an Eiffel Tower keychain.

Anything can (and does) turn into an ornament at our house. We have old annual passes, hotel key cards, the gift card bracelet things from Flower & Garden Festival and Food & Wine, some favorite pins, things tossed from parades or characters (like mardi gras beads), antenna balls (piate mickey, jack skellington, etc)...pretty much anything that a normal person would toss in the junk drawer or throw away.lol

[ribollita]

Sports balls (a Mike Wasowski eyeball basketball remains a favorite), hats, plush for DD.

[Mrs. ChanandlerBong]

We get a "year" ornament every trip, too.

We also get a magnet from the resort where we're staying.

[stephm0188]

We get an ornament every year as well, usually something that symbolizes that particular trip.

We also collect pins and pressed pennies.

[zarapipe]

Ornament, magnet for the fridge and a coffee cup.

Star Wars t-shirts
Cat stuff
Thumper stuff

[juliej]

I get a pin for every resort we stay at, and then a pin from the parks. And we do pennies.
